Chandler’s Best of All Shines in the Virtual Playhouse 

When Chandler logs into the Virtual Playhouse, his smile says it all. The screen lights up with familiar faces, and he knows this is his space—a place where he can laugh, learn, and connect with friends. For Chandler and his family, the Playhouse isn’t just another program; it’s a community that celebrates every step forward, no matter how big or small. 

One of Chandler’s proudest Best of All moments came during a recent program. Surrounded by peers who cheer each other on, Chandler found the courage to express himself more openly. Each time he shares his ideas or participates in an activity, it’s another step in building confidence and independence. His family sees these moments as daily victories—proof that growth can be measured in seconds, words, or even a simple smile. 

The Virtual Playhouse has become a highlight for Chandler’s family. “We love seeing Chandler light up every time he joins,” his family shares. “It gives him a safe and creative space to express himself, connect with friends, and build confidence while having fun.” 

Chandler participates in several virtual programs, including GiGi’s Achievers, Games with Friends, and GiGi’s Kitchen Adult. He doesn’t have a single favorite—he loves them all! Each session gives him a chance to connect, learn, and most importantly, be himself. 

For Chandler, the Virtual Playhouse is more than just a program on a screen. It’s a place where friendships grow, confidence blossoms, and Best of All moments are always waiting to be celebrated.

But now…
